History Main / TheNameIsBondJamesBond

* Very early example: There exists an 1889 Edison phonograph recording of the German composer ''Creator/JohannesBrahms'' where he introduces himself as "Doktor Brahms, Johannes Brahms" before playing a piece on the piano.

* Virtually a given in any ''Film/JamesBond'' movie, [[TropeNamer obviously]] (most of the times).
** "Trench, Sylvia Trench" from ''[[Film/DrNo Dr. No]]'' is actually the first character to use this trope. It's in response to this introduction that Bond first utters the deathless line. And in the reboot ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' it's "Mathis - Rene Mathis."

** ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' - Bond uses the line on Jill Masterson, then later on uses it on her sister Tilly, who impatiently cuts him off halfway through.
** Turned into a RunningGag in ''Film/AViewToAKill'', as Bond uses a variety of fake names.
*** Also played with in the Music/DuranDuran video for the theme to ''Film/AViewToAKill''; toward the end of the video, the band's lead singer identifies himself as "Bon. Simon [=LeBon=]."

** PlayedForLaughs earlier in the film where Bond (after having been retired for several years) returns to SIS headquarters and introduces himself at the [=MI6=] front desk with just his last name, then irritably gives his full name when it gets no recognition.

* ''Film/DasTestamentDesDoktorMabuse'' (1933) has: "Gestatten Sie, dass ich mich vorstelle: Ich heiße Mabuse, [[HerrDoktor Doktor Mabuse]]." ("Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Mabuse, Doctor Mabuse.")
* In ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', Marty's future great-great-grandmother Maggie [=McFly=] introduces herself as "[=McFly=], Maggie [=McFly=]". Then, to avoid arousing suspicion, Marty introduces himself to Maggie as "[[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference Eastwood]], Creator/ClintEastwood", also doing it to Buford Tannen.
-->'''Buford:''' [[ItWillNeverCatchOn What kinda stupid name is that]]?

-->'''Cameron:''' ''(on the phone with the principal)'' And you just mind your Ps and Qs, buster, and remember who you're dealing with.\\

* ''Film/{{Constantine}}'': This is Constantine. John Constantine. %&*hole.
* ''Film/SunsetBoulevard''. After Mr. Sheldrake calls her "Miss Kramer": "The name's Schaefer. Betty Schaefer. Right now I wish I could crawl in a hole and pull it in after me."
* Rose in ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'', when she gave her name as Rose Dawson upon arriving at New York - "Dawson, Rose Dawson,"
* ''Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians'': Waddlesworth, a macaw who believes himself to be a dog, once toyed with the ''Film/JamesBond'' theme and introduced himself as "Dog, James Dog".

-->'''Charles''': The name's Xavier, Charles Xavier, how do you do?

-->'''Zero''': Zero, Ultraman Zero, son of Series/{{Ultraseven}}!
* In the beginning of the FilmNoir classic, ''Film/LadyInTheLake'', Phillip Marlowe introduces himself this way.

* ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'': When the film introduces the audience to The Bad, Angel Eyes, who's looking for Jackson, a customer tells him that he's going by the name Bill Carson.
-->'''Customer''': "Carson, Bill Carson."

* ''WesternAnimation/Zootopia'': Nick Wilde introduces himslef to Judy this way.

* ''Film/TheTerminator'': "His name is Connor. John Connor. Your son, Sarah."
* ''Film/RedHeat'': "I'm looking for Rosta! Viktor Rosta!"

-->'''Customer''': "Carson. Bill Carson."

* Ace Ukiyo introduces himself Keiwa Sakurai as "Geats. Series/KamenRiderGeats."

* ''Manga/{{Heroman}}'' features an example without a first name: "Minami, Doctor Minami."

* ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'': When Karin introduced herself to Ikki, she introduced herself as "Karin, Karin Junlei".

* ''ComicBook/{{Joker}}'': A low-level thug who becomes ComicBook/TheJoker's chauffeur introduces himself as "Jonny. Jonny Frost." For the rest of the story, Joker calls him "Jonny Jonny".

-->'''Crow T Robot:''' Yeah, well I'm Bill Shtinkwater.

* ''Film/FirstBlood'': Sam Trautman. ''Colonel'' Sam Trautman.

* This is how Nico Saiba introduces herself to Taiga Hanaya in ''Series/KamenRiderExAid''.
-->'''Nico:''' Nico. Nico Saiba. You can beat him, right? By "him" I mean Genius Gamer M.

* On the border of this trope: in ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Star Trek: TNG]],'' "The Outrageous Okona", Wesley tells Okona his name is "Wesley. Wesley Crusher," and also mentions he's an acting ensign. Okona says, in a wacky voice, "I'm glad to meet you, Acting Ensign Wesley Wesley Crusher."

* The Season 2 episode of ''Series/WhiteCollar'', “Forging Bonds” features Neal repeating the phrase ''near'' verbatim when he hears of his FBI nickname: «Bonds. James Bonds,»

* The ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' games featured Larry introducing himself as "Larry; Larry Laffer." At one point, a character responds with, "Oh, I so love dual first names. One time I met [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutros_Boutros-Ghali Boutrous Boutrous-Ghali]]!" When the games became voiced, the semicolon became a chuckle.
** Just imagine the introduction: "Boutros-Ghali, Boutros Boutros-Ghali". It works with anyone on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_reduplicated_names this list]].

* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' {{invert|edTrope}}s this: "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Interestingly, something lost in translation was his tendency to spice it up with GratuitousEnglish. For instance, a Japanese ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' ad has him introducing himself with "My name is Sonic! Sonikku za Hejihoggu da!", and later ending with "Ore wa Sonic! Tsk tsk tsk tsk! Sonic the Hedgehog!"

* In ''VideoGame/DragonsLair II: Time Warp'', a talking time machine notices Dirk approaching it and says, "You must be Dirk, Dirk the Daring."

* Don't tell you never did that when you were standing at a service desk and were being asked for your name (and you didn't know at first if your first name was necessary to mention).

For extra humor, characters with limited language skills or from another culture (or who just want to be a pedantic pain-in-the-butt for whatever reason) may subsequently [[ComicallyMissingThePoint address our Ms. Lockhart as "Lockhart Sally Lockhart"]].

** In ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', the character of Valentin Zukovsky (first introduced in ''Film/GoldenEye'') mocks 007 by addressing him as, "Bondjamesbond".

* Parodied in the '80s ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' episode "Diamonds Aren't Forever", in which the main character, a spy with the first name James, repeatedly tries to do this trope, but whenever he or another character is about to say his last name, they're always interrupted somehow.

* Parodied in one ''Comicbook/JudgeDredd'' story where [[TheOtherDarrin all of the actors]] who played [[Film/JamesBond John]] [[CaptainErsatz Blaze]] are lured to their deaths with the Creator/SeanConnery standin as the SoleSurvivor.

** PlayedForLaughs earlier in the film where Bond (after having been retired for several years) returns to SIS headquarters and introduces himself at the MI6 front desk with just his last name, then irritably gives his full name when it gets no recognition.

** When the Doctor signs on with UNIT at the end of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace "Spearhead from Space"]], the Brigadier points out that he doesn't even know the Doctor's name, which the Doctor then gives as [[MrSmith "Smith, Dr. John Smith."]] [[Creator/JonPertwee Jon Pertwee]] was both a Film/JamesBond 007 and a friend of Creator/IanFleming, so it was likely a deliberate use of this trope.

** When the Doctor signs on with UNIT at the end of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace "Spearhead from Space"]], the Brigadier points out that he doesn't even know the Doctor's name, which the Doctor then gives as "Smith, Dr. John Smith."
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek "Dalek"]]: When asked her name, Goddard says "Goddard, sir, Diana Goddard."

* Being a parody of the ''James Bond'' movies, ''Film/CarryOnSpying'' has the expy of James Bond say a variation of this. He says to his teacher, "Bind," but is interrupted by his teacher, who asks, "James?" It turns out the teacher (and [[RefrainFromAssuming probably the audience]]) was wrong. "No, Charlie. Charlie Bind."

* "My name is Forrest, ''Film/ForrestGump''."

* In one episode of WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures, Jackie introduces himself to an art collector as "Chan, Jackie Chan". For the rest of the episode, the guy calls him "Chan Jackie Chan".
